Currently, Ms. Briscoe is the top coach and mentor with Nightingale Conant in the UK, and although the economic climate has dampened their business she is still getting the odd referral from their Chicago office, as well as the UK.

They have one daughter, Lara, who turned 40 in November 2011, and she is married to Charles, and they live about 15 minutes away with their 6-year-old son, Sebastian. In five years, Ms. Briscoe would like to perform more charitable work and develop her services. She aspires to grow both personally and professionally.
